Police issue Nixle alert after items stolen from car

A Redford resident of the 17200 block of Garfield near Santa Maria called police when he noticed a man walking down his neighbor’s driveway carrying a large bag on Sunday afternoon.

Police issued a Nixle alert after the incident to try to locate the man.

The man, described as black, 17 to 20 years old and 5 foot 10 to 6 feet tall with a medium build and wearing black pants, a black or blue hooded sweatshirt and orange or red boxer shorts, was then seen dumping miscellaneous items out of the bag and onto the ground near a tree at about 4 p.m. Sunday, according to police reports.

The neighbor watched as the man left the driveway and walked down Garfield north of Six Mile where he began emptying the bag and he saw a possible tablet computer in the bag, reports said.

Police found papers and IDs with the victim’s name that had been stolen from the victim’s car, reports said.

Police then found the man near Six Mile and Beech Daly, but he ran through yards and was not detained or arrested, reports said.

He was last seen in the area of Centralia and Curtis when police issued a Nixle alert Sunday afternoon. He was still carrying the bag with the possible tablet computer inside.
